Is this well made? Do you think it will actually be able to support the camera if the other part fails?

It is indeed well made. My only quibble is the construction of the metal ring. While VERY solid, the screw-down has no way to lock it in place. A possible minor redesign would include a small rubber ring to impede the regular motion of moving your camera back and forth from loosening the screw down. I had ONE episode during a mildly strenuous day hike where the bolt unscrewed during walking. It did NOT drop my camera, though.

I don't know yet. I have just attached it to my camera rig and have only been out once. That said, I have a heavy rig - Canon 7D with grip , using my Canon 70-200 L, and it seemed sturdy enough. Won't know for sure until there is a failure, which will probably lead me to test it over a mattress or something like that.

I think that it is well made enough to catch a camera if the other part fails. It definitely won't snap immediately if used just as a backup in case the strap fails but I'm sure that if you had a heavy camera hanging from it for a week it would eventually snap. Using this strap though creates a mess of straps and cords. It is kind of annoying in my opinion. I ended up just switching back to a normal camera strap because I didn't like the messy straps and cords created with using this.

Mine seems very well made. I would trust it with the weight of my D90 or NEX-6

Yes i was surprises how well made it is, I use it on a nikon d600 and it will support it without issues.

It will definitely support any camera you put on it. I have a Nikon D800 with a battery grip and this tether holds it with no problem. The build is very solid and strong

Probable not inside the frame. It will support one either above or below quite well. I had a 7" on mine mounted off an arm offset beside the camera.

If you can find a way to attach it to the steadicam and the monitor, it should be sturdy enough. I used mine to mount cameras, and I mounted the arm to a Manfrotto super clamp.

Hi Zach...it's pretty solid but then I also use a Sony AS10 with stabilization. Even still, it works well. While the tightning screw has never come loose, I string a plastic zip tie through the end to keep it from turning. I'm not about to lose my camera from a screw set that vibrates loose. Anyway, I like it; it's small and compact and does not wobble like the bigger, taller attachments.

It's quite stable. When u put it on, it comes a part of the camera, like your lense does. Your lense will not drop easily, will it?

I think it's sturdy enough to hold a heavy camera/lens combo like yours. I haven't had any problems with it, but that's an expensive kit you've got and it might be worth it to take a look at brand like Manfrotto. Just saying. After all, your camera gear is only as good as your supporting gear.

It will support? YES It will wobble? probably I think it is to much weight for this tripod. better look for another (more sturdy) tripod.

I am not certain. It seems solid enough but it may not hold the camera during rough travel or for long periods of time.

Also the place where it holds the camera is from the top I don't think if you screw only that little thing underneath it would be enough to hold your camera, the main support is really from the top

Depends on how heavy it is and whether it has a 1/4x20 threaded socket. If the camera and light weigh more than a couple of pounds and you try to position it in a position close to horizontal, I'm worried that it would not be able to hold it without sagging. If your equipment is heavy, you may be better off with the locking articulated arm, it will support more weight.

Yes.... this is an amazingly sturdy tripod. On the level of sturdiness it is equivalent to a good Manfroto...in my opinion

Unless they have fixed the problem with this tripod - the head is glued on, NOT screwed on, I would stay away from it. I had my camera on it and it almost fell on the floor. The company did, finally, offer to replace it, but I declined the offer and did not get my money back. I would not risk putting an expensive piece of equipment on this tripod. It's possible the company has a better build one which you might look into.

It's sturdy enough for your camera. My 70d with lens is almost double the weight and it works fine for me. It doesn't shake and I haven't broken it thusfar. I do recommend something heavier if you plan to film in windy/harsh environments.

I would think that it should be sturdy enough. The reason I purchased this monopod was because it was so compact. Really glad that I purchased it.

Yes, I believe so. It's sturdy enough. But please keep in mind that this is a travel tripod. So, it may not be as steady as the other regular heavy duty tripods. But for general purposes it's a great tripod.

No, it's not made for that. Mine is very secure. I only bought a replacement as someone borrowed my camera, took the lens cap off and put it in their jacket then left their jacket.

Indeed it is. You can also wedge it under the baseplate on the cantilevered side with a heavier camera.This thing can get a little springy with a big rig or large broadcast-style camera.
